Il Is only packet OF letters,
Tied with bit Of string
Only trifie for memory you say,
Fond recollections to bring.
Bot, ak! my friend, in that packet
Are words too dear to destroy
Words both chaste and confidinely true,
Which none bat this heart can enjoy
Heaven Is just-she whs wrote them
Has passed from this world Of care
Passed to a land where nyriads dwell,
And left me alone in despair.
Rest quietly on, fair loved one,
Through all OF eternity's years:
Your lonely grave, with moss o'erspreadi
Angels bedew With their tears.

Porch Will Strike Back.

CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 1.-ConSul-Gen-
eral Porch is considerably stirred up over
the nomination of Colonel E. G.. Moore to
succeed him, and in an interview pub
lished in the Trim Republics he declares his
intention of showing up the real reason
why he was dismissed. He states that
two weeks ago Senators Vest and Cock
rell wrote him saying that Secretary
Bayard was determined to remove him
for his attitude in the Sedgwick matter
He was told in these letters that he could
resign if he wanted to. He declined to re.
sign as he said it would place him under
cloud. Then last Friday Minister Man
ming informed Porch that he had received
telegram from Bayard asking if his
resignation had been forwarded
Porch told Manning he saw no reason
why he should resign. Two days later
another telegram came from the State
Department with the information that the
President had desired his resignation by
telegraph. Again he refused to resign
and his successor was appointed as re-
suit. Porch does not hesitate to say that
Bayard was influenced against him
by Sedgwick's allegation that he
(Porch) had helped to spread the
story of the special ENJOYS de-
bauch. Porch claims to have tele-
graphed Bayard his desire to prove all the
charges against Sedgwick. His request
has never been needed, and now he pro-
poses to publish his side of the case.

THE FISHERIES DIFFICULTY.

Important Correspondence From the Brit
ish Government Laid Before the Domin-
ion Cabinet.
OTTAWA. Ont, Feb. 9.-Important CORE
spondence received from the British Gov
eminent, it Is stated, has been laid before
the Cabinet in relation to the fishery diff
Guilty. 1t is learned from politician who
IS in the confidence of Sir John Macdon-
add that Lord Salisbury has requested
the Dominion Government to Immediately
furnish him with full report as to the
course the Dominion Government followed
IN carrying out the provisions of the
treaty of 1918, in the protection of the
fisheries, and to submit draft of what
the Dominion Government would con-
slider fair and equitable basis
upon which further negotiations with the
United States might be founded for the
settlement of the dispute. 1t is ais o
learned that Lord Salisbury expressed
himself as favorable to the whole fishery
question and the treaty of 1918 being re-
opened before convention appointed for
the purpose, that any unjust or unnatural
clauses, if they exist, which might be so
constructed according to the laws Of
nations, might be substituted with pro-
visions that will remove all possibility of
future complications.

AMONG THE GAS-WELLS.
Brilliant illumination of the Whole Sky
by Kissing Tongues of Flame.

Brilliant illumination of the Whole Sky
by Kissing Tongues of Flame.
A group of burning wells north of
Washington, Pa has presented many
grand and beautiful night-scenes.
Though several miles apart, they APP
pear, at distance, to be close together,
and their light intermingles. On
dark night, with all of them burning,
they make great show. These wells
in full blast-with those thanking them
on the right and on the left, with the
broad glare of those at Wellsburg, W.
Va, showing twenty miles to the north
west, and with those at Murraysville,
Pa, thirty miles to the northeast
make a scene which would ter
rify stranger, if he should
come upon it unaware of the existence
of such things as burning gas-wells
1t would only need columns of fiery
lava to convince him that the whole
region was full of volcanoes. And his
terror would doubtless be complete
when he saw great fiery column shoot
skyward, unless he was made aware of
the real cause of the phenomenon, when
he would remain to admire what a mo-
ment before had filled him with alarm.
The explanation of the sudden burst of
flame is that it is necessary often to
elbow OUT the wells and the pipes
leading to the regulator, TO keep them
from being clogged by the salt which
gathers in the pipes from the saltwater
thrown up by the gas. The flow of the
gas is stopped for a moment; and when
again released, the gas drives every
thing before it into the open air. This
escaping gas is burned at the regulator.
The effect of the suddenly increased
pressure is to shoot a tongue of flame,
kissing and roaring, high in air. On
misty night, when the light is broken
up and diffused,- snow-covered
hills sometimes adding their reflection,
the whole sky is brilliantly ilhlmi-
mated. and the scene is grand and
beautiful.-Sanuel w Hall, in st.
Nicholas.

Hymn EMAIL,

Marriage of Miss Annie Randall, Daughte r
of the Pennsylvania Congressman, and
Mr.. Charles Calvert Lancaster.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-Thes marriage of
Miss Annie Randall, daughter of Repre-
sentative Randall and Mr.. Charles Calvert
Lancaster, took place yesterday afternoon
at the family residence on Capitol Hill at
half-past three O'Clock. Only a family
gathering was present at the ceremony, at
which Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria, Ill,
officiated.
Miss Randall is the elder of the
daughters, and bears striking resem-
blance to her father, whose busy helper
she has been for several years. She has
not been fond of society, and mingled but
little in the gay world, save frequently ac-
cepting invitations to assist Cabin ct
ladies at their rece ptions. She is a bru-
nette and looks very pretty in her we'd
ding gown of white satin and lace.
The groom, Mr.. Lancaster, is a lawyer
here and comes of an old Catholic family
of Maryland. Richard Spaulding, a
brother of Archbishop Spauiding, of
Baltimore, married Mary Jane Lancaster,
a cousin of Mr.. Lancaster's. Her son,
Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria, OBLIGATED
yesterday at the marriage. There were
no bridesmaids or groomsmen at the cere
mony. The wedding tour will be dis
pensed with, and the newly married
couple will go directly to their new home,
1443 o street, where they start at once
housekeeping

brought into question. The gentle
man made up in courtesy what he
lacked in molars, and extended the
hospitality of the institution in the
smoothest of pigeon English.
Arranged with great regard for econ
omy of space are six large tanks or
watts, four holding probably a ton of
fish apiece and two of three times that
capacity. A chimney of brick is built
up from the fireplace, upon which lat
ter structure is arranged places for
toned off for sleeping hunks and a
small lean-to roof boarded in for
a work-room completed the in
door arrangements of this establish
ment. The process for curing the fish
is very simple one. Upon being dis
embarked from the schooner they are
split open, cleaned and laid out to dry.
After suitable time they are packed
away in the watts in layers of salt, and
when sufficiently cured are bound up
into bundles in mating, and are then
ready for shipment
The varieties in most favor are
species of Goldfish, barracuda and dog
| fish. The latter is now the kind most plen-
tiful, and long rows of them lay upon the
frame, smiling, with a CHASTITY display
| of teeth, in the warm sun. The fish
when cured are worth about $40 per
| ton, the four hundred tons cured dur
ing the last two years representing
| some $4,000 Forty tons of fish have
been lost in the curing, and these are
| those which made Rome howl, or rather
made the adjoining residents wish they
| were dead or that the fish were not.
The fish of the large teeth, called by
the Cinnamon dogfish, are obtained be-
low San Diego, the fishing operations
being carried on many miles south of
that point. Barracuda, in season, are
of course obtained in great numbers in
this channel. Most peculiar, however,
is the trade in sea moss. This commodity
is piled up in huge bales against the
fireplace to dry. and there must be
now on hand in the establishment sew
eral tons ready for consignment to the
Chinese merchants in San Francisco
and to the markets of China. The
moss is of beautiful lavender tint,
and is always conspicuous in albums
and sea-moss designs on account of it's
delicate shapes and feathery leaves. 1t
is washed up by every wave on the
| beach here at Santa Barbara, but not
in an amount nearly sufficient for COM
mercial purposes. The great source of
supply is the beach near More's land
ing. The Chinese cooks use it to make
soups, and it is said to tickle the Celes-
tial palate after a most delicious and
savory manner.
1t is a pity that the American kitchen
can not find use for these two aban-
doned fruit products. Dried dog-fsh
and sea moss, at the present writing,
are not particularly Turing bats to the
pampeied epicure of the Arlington or
San Marcos, but there may be unlim-
tied possibilities in the way of gastron-
omic glee hidden within those rough
exteriors, and with this latter sugges-
ton the subject is turned over to those
| interested in booming Santa Barbara.

Hygiene Versus Medicine.

The development of sanitary science
has advanced with rapid strides during
the last three decades Thirty years
ago it scarcely had an existence. Our
diminished rate of mortality is due to q
greater extent to this cause than to i'm
proved methods of treatment of dis
eases. We point this out, not with the
intention of sneering at the anxious
and too often thankless work perform
ed by our doctors, but to accentuate the
fact that preventive medicine is more
powerful and far-reaching in its effects
than the endeavor to cope with disease.
Not only is prevention better than
cure" bnt it is also easier. Far from
this being slur upon the medical pro-
fession, we should probably not be be-
yond the mark in stating, that almost
every important sanitary measure has
originated with 1t, and has been press
ed by it upon an often unwilling pub

English VS.. American Girls.

Being asked by a reporter about the
success of American girls in England,
Mrs. Langtry, the Jersey Lily" said:
You know pretty American girl is
likely to be very charming to an En-
glishman. She knows so much more
than English girls. She can be so much
more amusing. She is trained up to
make herself interesting, and she is
thoroughly self-possessed at fifteen
years of age. One rarely hears any
thing of an English woman, however,
until she is married. She is brought
up in seclusion until she is eighteen, or
nineteen, or twenty, and then put into
low dress and sent out into the world
of fashion. But to be seen, not heard.
Indeed, an English girl in company
is frightened at the sound of her own
voice, and if married woman even,
much less a man, speaks to her, she
bushes. "-Philadelphia Times.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
LEARN WHILE YOUNG.

When TIM grown-up woman.
Just like mamma. you know,
I'm going to have the daintiest things
When have learned to sew.
I'll hemstitch and embroider,
And aesthetic patters trace,
And Til trim my frills with needlework
AS delicate as lace.
When I'm a grown-up woman,
I'm going to learn to make
The most delicious buildings
And thirteen kinds of cake;
Ny bread shall be the lightest
And the whitest in the town,
And your mouth will water when you see
NY coffee, golden brown.
When I'm grown-up woman
And have a house to keep,
mustn't slight the corners
When have learned to sweep;
The busting and the cleaning
Unjust always do with care,
And a cobweb!-I should blush with shame
To find one anywhere.
But when mamma this morning
Was brushing out my curls,
She smiled and said that women
Are grown-up little girls;
And to gain such skillful fingers,
The only certain way
Is to learn to work while am young,
And practice every day.

Some of the Passing Strange Innovations
of Texas Eating House.
A rather subdued stranger recently
entered an Austin restaurant and, tax
ing a seat near the door, was soon con-
fronted by waiter, to whom he COM
municated his order The meal was
soon before him, smoking hot, and as
the waiter was about to withdraw, the
stranger said:
"Er-see here; there are no flies in
this coffee"
Flies! o, no, SIR" replied the man
with the apron and a napkin over his
shoulder
81 had expected to meet them here
in fact, l had halfway promised to
why, heavens! l fail to recognize my

.'And SO the roach. too. has deserted
us. Well, we'll. Say, where's the
limp, wet napkin, with prune sauce or
one side and sweet oil on the otherp''
''Our napkins are all fresh and new

Strange; It's passing strange.
Where is the variegated table-cloth
that looked like calico dress pattern
done up in coffee dregs and molasses?'
''Our table spreads are clean every
day, sir"
.'Well, well'' Suddenly the man
commenced spearing around in the
butter dish with his fork. II don t
find it, he murmured, sadly.
Don't find what?' snapped the
waiter.
HAS she gone?'

to conceal samples Of her auburn ring

''Our butter has no hair

door-knob Hasn't there been some
kind of a change in the management of
this place?'
YES
"All of the dear old familiar land
